From Gloomy to be Happy

This Wednesday, I felt so gloomy and perfectly regretful at the same time. Additionally, it seemed that I was too confused to do proper things at that day. I didn't know what actually happened on myself until I did everything wrong. Now, my feeling is I got myself down.

The night I came back from Depok to Bogor, a street singer, young, brought only his old guitar. Usually, I never cried on something like this. But somehow, when this guy started singing…. Whoaaaa, felt like something tore my heart, deeply broken inside, so hurt until I couldn’t put my tears down. Something like tears started to come out from my eyes. I almost cried at very that moment.

I have a friend who is very easily affected by anything until she cries. I often laugh at her because her fragile heart, I said so. But oh my god, I really knew how she felt this long, till she easily cries even when she just listens to the street singers. That night, when I was just alone -no pals I knew beside-, rode angkot toward my dorm, that young street singer actually just sang a common song which I often listened before. It was came out from his song: “A child asked to his teacher, what kind of pray we should recite once we want to be happy? Then here is the pray… Rabbana atiina fiddunya hasanah, wa fil aakhirati hasanah waqinaa ‘adzabannaar” This is a perfectfully multi-purpose pray for moslem. This pray means we wish for safety, peace, goodness, and success either in this world or in the akhirah (afterlife). And wish for kept away from the hell. This song made me realize that to be happy was that easy for moslem, because Allah is The Only Source of happiness. I felt disappointed on myself just because too much thinking about the world itself. But I forgot that I have Allah, The One Who Let me in the ease. So, no matter how dreadful my day, and how bad I will be, later, I just need to recite this pray and leave the rest of my effort to Allah. He will have better plan for me, indeed.

Suddenly, after I felt wanna cry as loud as I want, still on that angkot, I realized that I had no reason not to be happy. I knew that I will never be perfect. I will make mistakes and new mistakes everday, on and on until I die. I realized that anxiety is a dirty point that should be removed soon. I knew that now I am facing the world which never there is something called PERFECTLY RIGHT.  I knew that I’ve tried my best, the imperfect thing is my another side who wanna teach me not to be so always-blaming-myself. Now I knew…. Leave yesterday and became better tomorrow. Please, Refa.. keep up the pace and do not distract yourself with the mistakes you did. Those are just happened to be exist in the whole of your life. Just relax and keep doing good!
